@Sacto, if you don't have good progesterone results after a cycle or two then you may want to ask for u/s monitoring. They didn't do an u/s until my third cycle only to find that the clomid wasn't working :( I am eager to see if the new dose works this time... also, the cramping is very normal.. I get super crampy by day 19-20 and cramp for about a week straight... it usually stops right before AF shows up and I get to be crampy all over again! Otherwise when I am still taking my clomid pills sometimes I get achy in my ovaries, like a dull ache.

@pups, I stopped drinking too when starting to TTC... Now I indulge in wine when AF is here but I have heard that until you actually get a positive HPT its ok to have a glass occassionally. Not sure how true that is... I hope your follie check went really well!

@megan, we are always waiting huh! Patience has never been my forte but they say the best things come to those who wait so let's hope that is true :D Can't wait to hear about your u/s results on Monday too, keep us posted for sure!

As for me, dye test went really well :) Super quick, very uncomfortable but they were efficient and got me in and out. Fallopian tubes look great so yay for finally getting some good news :D FX'd that you are right Pups and this makes it extra easy to catch an eggie... if I can get one to pop out any time soon lol. So now it's more waiting for me lol.

RE said to not bother with OPKs this month since I have gotten false positives since starting clomid :( since he is monitoring I will take not having to POAS lol. Prior to clomid I never got a +OPK, now I have gotten them around the 15th day but I haven't had any good follies... explains why I am still TTC haha.

Well my follicle check went way too well. I have 3 "very large" follicles on my right and a few smaller ones and I'm only on CD 11!! She is canceling my cycle because she thinks it's too risky. I'm devistated. No trigger, no BD until I O. Which who knows when that is because I still haven't gotten a + opk. I just feel like the entire universe is against me and I'm never going to get pregnant. So completely frustrating.

I don't know yet. The dr wasn't actually there today so they were just talking to her on the phone. I meet with her next week. I'm assuming theyll either lower the dose or the days or switch to something else. Who knows. I keep trying to find the up side to it and I can't. I always find an upside but not in this. :(

An upside is that at least you had very good follies, just more than your dr wanted :( sucks having to wait another cycle though. I really hope you O quickly and can start again. That is good she is meeting with you next week, I just feel like with infertility being so sensitive, those discussions need to happen face to face.

@pupps I'm so sorry to hear that you have to wait another month. I know it's not the same, but my husband had a very ill planned business trip last month during "go time" and it was frustrating knowing that we couldnt even try that month! Hoping next month is the one!!

@pupps that does stink you have to wait another month. Maybe the follies will drop on their own and you will still have a chance. Even though I did miscarry, I got pregnant while on a break from clomid (after 6 rounds).

Right now, after doing lots of reading, I am concerned that my large follicle is really a cyst. I still have no sign of O on my own. I always O on my own too. I haven't even gotten close to a +opk. It sucks that it's the weekend. I just want to talk to my doctor. If I don't O by Monday I'm demanding another ultrasound. Lots of people think I should still bd anyway. Still not sure about that. If you think about how follicles grow 1-2 mm a day they will be HUGE by Monday and probably no good anyway. It's just frustrating not knowing what really is going on.
